I searched through the Elecraft Archives and didn't see a reference to the
Ham Radio Workbench podcast where Eric gives an update on the K4 (published
on 11/4). Not sure if there are any new tidbits that can't be found on the
other update sources / youtube etc, but I thought I would pass this
Wes is right, learning Morse by reading it is a disaster, and will hamper
him for life. It took me decades to learn why I had so much trouble--I

Sounds like a power glitch. I’ve seen that with my KPA500. My amp is powered
from a 240v line w/neutral. As to why unplugging was necessary, I can only
speculate primary leakage current or line input filter, which is in the
microamp range, was a contributing factor.

I would leave it at 4.96 as that tells me it was set at some point (from

However, if you think the internal metering is wrong, you could double

Hi Ken,
You are correct… an excellent way to learn is the Koch method with the
Farnsworth spacing. Characters are typically formed at 20wpm and then space
increase to get the speed down to something copyable. That gives good sound and
an adjustable pace.
I’m learning now and using the

Mine reads 4.96, so should it be set to 5.0 or left alone?
Thanks.

Notes for all;
Check the K3 config menu item "ADC REF". If at 5.00 it is probably at
default.
(if at 4.00 a glitch occurred, probably during FW update, and will FUBAR
the internal metering. Set to 5.00 or read on).

I don't understand the paradigm that the K4 is WAY more expensive than the K3s.
If you outfit a K3s with everything that is included for example, in a K4D, I
believe you'll find the K3s package is actually MORE expensive than the K4D.
Don't forget to include: The P3, + transmit monitor, + VGA

If by "hit the TUNE button", you are referring to the TUNE button on the

I recently put my KPA500 back into service. Seems to work perfectly.
However, I’m puzzled by what looks like a giant asterisk that appears in the
